Looks neat, but it does seem quite awkward without any sort of engine noise. Maybe it might change after I watch a proper race.

As part of the event, the Formula E car was also driven along the famous Las Vegas Strip by di Grassi under police escort, finishing at the world-famous Caesars Palace Hotel and Casino.

"Caesars Palace has been passionate about auto sports since its early days when it hosted the Caesars Palace Grand Prix,” said Tariq Shaukat, Caesars Entertainment's Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer.
Bullshit, if they really gave a drat about auto sports Vegas would have gotten the USGP before it went to Indy, would have supported ICS, supported ALMS, etc. :(

Watched the last IMSA practice tonight. DP drivers were really trying to muscle out of the hairpin, astounded nobody managed to smack the outside wall. Also the Mazda diesel is super quiet (as expected) and might run the risk of inadvertently causing a wreck on the slow sections if a DP or P2 roll up behind.

The other driver in the wreck, Vadim Kogay, was the guy that kept going off track at Monza some months back.

Yeah that's true they have: http://bangshift.com/general-news/e...endurance-race/
I get the feeling that because ChumpCar is amateur racing as opposed to FIA/WEC, nobody cares about records set.

Borderline going off-topic, but related to Torque TV:
http://www.theautochannel.com/news/2014/11/04/118419-speedvision-founder-relaunches-torque-tv.html

quote:

Speedvision was a ripoff of The Auto Channel. Werner was often ballyhooed as the father of Speedvision, but he wasn't the father of Speedvision, I think the more accurate description is that he was the fraud of Speedvision. Eventually Werner was bought out of the deal and the cable systems sold Speedvision to FOX for a few hundred million dollars; and the network name was shortened to Speed.

Back in 1996 "The Auto Channel" filed a lawsuit against Speedvision claiming Comcast and Cox conspired to steal their ideas. A bit of research and I found the summary judgement of their case, TAC lost because they did not enter into a legal contract during negotiations to protect their concept from IP theft.
